In the past, most remote data centers depended on a single network for communication with the outside world. This worked quite well as long as the network was up and running, but if the network was down, then often there was no alternative means for network administrators to communicate with network elements in order to [...]
In today’s global economy, most large corporations have subsidiaries and division headquarters that may be strewn all over the world; many in remote, difficult-to-reach locations that can oftentimes only be reached after days of travel. The global nature of modern commerce is one of the main factors that makes out of band management solutions such [...]
Sometimes, out of band management is the only way to communicate with an extremely remote network element. This is particularly true when network devices are located on an oil rig, out in the middle of the Atlantic ocean; it’s fairly impractical (if not impossible) to run a hardwired line out to the middle of the [...]

It’s second annual contribution, the WTI donation supports the Association’s Fire Lookout Host program, which helps keep seven historic fire towers across the San Bernardino National Forest staffed and in good repair to continue to spot fires and [...]

These days, most large, corporate networks are actually comprised of two separate networks: one main network that allows users to access emails, inventory programs, servers and so forth, and a secondary “maintenance network” which provides out of band management capabilities, allowing IT personnel to access critical network elements when the main network is down or [...]
These days, whenever the subject of remote network administration comes up, you’ll often hear the phrase “out of band” used. Most people have a vague idea that “out of band” refers to an alternative means to establish a remote connection with a piece of network equipment, outside of normal network communication. But just what exactly [...]
I have had a long line of iPhones starting with the first one. I put up with the dropped calls because of the many other advantages of the iPhone. You can compare against the Android, BlackBerry, but all in all, the iPhone, at least for now is the platform for me. What is starting to [...]
My son and I went looking for a book he wanted. Usually we go to Borders and books if we want something right away. My wife, though had a gift card for Barnes and Noble. So off we went one night after dinner to the biggest one I knew was around in Irvine, California just [...]
